    Wow, hi Rob - welcome to the two-sixties...

    My one is out of storage, the deal with it & SF is that they come out for the summer months, but I alternate them - it's the only way I can afford to run them both. Last year was SF's turn, this year the V8 is out and about. 6 months on, 18 months off.

    I personally get 21 mpg, used to get 27 mpg from my old ZT 190, so not as big a jump as I had expected. Difference between the two is that at 70mph, the V6 would be doing 1000 rpm more than the V8 more or less. However, the best mpg I've seen is 24, but if you give it the beans, you'll be lucky to see double figures. Of course, the noise of the car more than makes up for its drink problem!

    Once you have one, you'll never go back, I'm sure. Tried selling my one once, never again - head vs heart, the heart will always win!

    Oh, and my one is BRG, not LMG (my old ZS 180 was LMG and Emma's current ZS Diesel is also LMG) hmmm, i'm seeing a pattern here, we seem to be collecting green MGs!

    Emma's MGF - BRG(M) - check
    Emma's ZS Diesel - LMG - check
    My V8 - BRG(P) - check
    My MGF - Flame Red & Sandalwood beige... oh well, scratch that theory...
